I want to grow bigger, maintain strength....would really like to work on my physique this year as apposed to trying to get strong. I've kinda lost the "love" for strength training and it feels like a chore.

but i dont wanna change my eating habits, as i love food of all variety, clean, fat, sugary. you name it.. soo ill ahve to find a way around it....

Seeing as though 95% of your goal will be diet, i wish you goodluck with your endeavors.

Perhaps we will see you with the same goal next year.

im going to fail aint i??... i can see myself getting bigger... but i seriously wanna lose the fat so at least i look nice, rahter than beefy, but there is no way i can sacrifice all the food i love...

lol... mate i put my physique 95% down to what i eat... ur kiddin yourself if you think you wil get into shape with your misguided perception of food intake.

Dont make the same mistakes i did, i spent over 3 years training, eating rubbish, not progressing.. when i started training right and eating right... BOOM.. leaned up started putting on size. learn from my mistake... there are some AWESOME diets on here just look in the "what i ate today" thread... rutaken has some good ones.

you have a choice to make... sacrifice your body or sacrifice your sugar and crap foods... there is more than enough info on here to lead you in the right direction... once you get started you wont look back mate.

I have a good chuckle when I see undisciplined people say they want to look like express. I have met Andrew and as he stated, he is very careful what he shoves in his mouth, he doesnt look like that by accident.

And on the training side, he trains alot and is actually quite strong for a guy weighing 72kg. At the comp, I dont reckon anyone will outbench him unless maybe Squirrel comes in at under 75kg, thats how strong he is, possibly the second strongest bencher in his weight class on here.

Everyone marvels at Shortie, and they should, but Andrew is only 5kg heavier and two feet taller and benches a bit more than him.

There's a good chance i'll be under 75kg but i'm not benching. I want my shoulder to finally get better. I've had a gutfull of being in pain and not being able to go 100%

ps: i shall report back on my progress to failure... but i hope not...

I have to lose 60kgs. I am asshamed of my weight for my age and I want to lose it. I am giving up alcohol, making my portion sizes smaller and exercising an hour 5 days a week. I have gotten rid or white products and replaced them with wholegrain products like pasta and bread. I have now got brown rice. I also cut out carbs at most dinners. I don't eat potato, corn but if we have a pasta or rice dish I use the wholegrain products.
